Matthew 18:15-20

Let's Dive Into Matthew 20:1-16!

ASK: Let's talk about it together!

Why do you think the workers who worked all day were upset with the landowner's decision?
Was the landowner being unfair, or was he being generous? Can something be both surprising and fair at the same time?
Can you think of a time when you felt jealous because someone else got something good, even though you weren't treated unfairly yourself?
What do you think this story teaches us about how God treats people — and how we should treat others?

ACTIVITY: Let's jump into this Outdoor (or, Indoor) Challenge!

Head outside for a "Surprise Harvest" walk — as a family, pick a small task like collecting pinecones, pulling a few weeds, or picking flowers. Split the family into two groups where one group starts right away and the other joins in halfway through, then when you're done, celebrate together with the same treat or reward regardless of who did more. Afterward, sit together outside and talk about how it felt to give (or receive) the same reward despite different amounts of work, connecting it back to the parable's message about grace.
